The Amber Grant Foundation began in 1998, launched in conjunction with the entrepreneurial community for women. The foundation was set up with one goal in mind: to honor the memory of a very special young woman named Amber who died at just 19 years old.
The Amber Foundation helps women start businesses and helps existing ones grow. The funding grants are small, but very helpful in getting you started. There is no requirement or expectation to repay the funds.
Women entrepreneur can apply at anytime by simply telling their story. No lengthy, complicated forms. At the end of each month, the judges will pick a $1,000 Amber Grant recipient. One of the 12 monthly winners will be awarded a $10,000 Amber Grant at the end of the year.
The judges are looking for a number of qualities: passion, business savvy, vision, and so much more. Women who believe in what they’re doing tend to make us believers, too.
Beyond that, details are vital. While they will do their own research prior to selecting finalists and a winner (or winners), assume that they are 100% unfamiliar with your company, industry and market. So avoid any jargon or lingo that could lead to confusion.
